“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

All hail the Army of the Night

The only thing better than windmilling to some POWERWOLF is seeing them play live. I really hope they visit the States soon- these guys slay on every single album I’ve heard from them, and I cannot wait to see them kill it live with their hilariously...

The worst song ever released

Here’s a simple question for you. What’s the single worst song you’ve ever heard? I mean, EVER? There are quite a few worthy candidates. The Hamster Dance, for instance, is a perennial favourite for the title of “Worst Song Ever”. Then...

“Deaf as Beethoven” is not necessarily an insult

At least, not when it applies to old Ludwig himself. After all, even when deaf, he was able to compose possibly the most sublime suite of orchestral music ever created by human intelligence: Brings me to near-tears every time I hear it. Share this: Share on X (Opens...

The Rattlehead rises again

Went to the concert (10 years ago!). Got the shirt. It would appear that MEGADETH is now host to none other than Brazilian guitar virtuoso Kiko Loureiro from ANGRA: As BLABBERMOUTH.NET exclusively reported as a “rumor” on March 14, it has now been made...

Become a part of the Klok!

A certain English metal band called IRON MAIDEN begs to differ I finally managed to listen to The Doomstar Requiem: A Klok Opera all the way through, and I have to admit, I was totally wrong about it. The first time I listened to it, I couldn’t get past the...

Just release the damn album already!

Hey, who’s the giant tranny in the middle??? OK, I get it, the next NIGHTWISH album is a really big freakin’ deal. I understand that. I’m a huge fan of their music, and I think that Floor Jansen is simply amazing. But if you’re Tuomas...

A little POWERWOLF goes a long way

New album this July. GET THEE A COPY. Extreme introverts find human stupidity to be vastly more toxic to our mental well-being than any other personality type. To us, having to deal with idiots on a daily basis drains our batteries so fast that we can’t get away...

Space rock

Of the most badass kind: I saw MONSTER MAGNET play live as a warmup act for Iggy Pop over 10 years ago, at Download Donnington in 2004. They kicked ass. Dave Wyndorf is a truly great frontman (when he’s not stoned out of his gourd on mescaline, anyway). His...

The 16th number of the Beast

EDDIE!!! New IRON MAIDEN album. Need I say more? IRON MAIDEN drummer Nicko McBrain was interviewed earlier this week in the studios of the 98.7 The Gater radio station in West Palm Beach, Florida. Asked for a health update on IRON MAIDEN singer Bruce Dickinson, who...

World’s most adorable RUSHian

A tiny wee little kid hears the epic RUSH classic “2112” for the first time. His expression says it all: Yes, my friends, RUSH really is that awesome. Get ’em hooked when they’re young and they’ll stay RUSH fanatics for the rest of...
